The sunxi_x_g2d.c file contains the midlayer code for hooking the
G2D optimized blit into xserver. But in fact it does not strictly
need to depend on anything sunxi specific.

So now we introduce a simple "blt2d_i" interface struct which
specifically provides a pointer to the accelerated blit function.
And just use this interface struct instead of the whole "sunxi_disp_t".
This allows to easily reuse the same code for other non-G2D or even
non-sunxi blit implementations in the future.

This is still not perfect, because G2D can't saturate memory bandwidth
for this color depth (it is fillrate limited). We should emulate 16bpp blits
with 32bpp blits whenever it is possible.

Now source and destination pixmaps don't need to be the same for
using G2D acceleration (as long as both of them are allocated in
the framebuffer). This allows using G2D to copy pixels from DRI2
buffers to the framebuffer on the fallback path (when the window
of an OpenGL ES application is partially overlapped by some other
windows). Though it only works when composite extension is
disabled, for example by adding the following to xorg.conf:

    Section "Extensions"
        Option "Composite" "Disable"
    EndSection

If composite extension is enabled, windows have backing pixmaps, and
we have a longer chain of copies:

   DRI2 buffer -> backing pixmap -> framebuffer

Because backing pixmap is not allocated in a physically contiguous
memory, it can't be copied using G2D yet.

Wrap CreateGC function to add a hook for CopyArea operation, which
can be accelerated using G2D for the buffers inside of the visible
part of the framebuffer. In the future we may try to also ensure
that DRI2 buffers are copied using G2D instead of CPU in the case
if we hit the fallback path and can't avoid this copy.

Explain that AIGLX is normally expected to fail and the users should
not really worry about it. Also provide a warning in the case if the
driver has been compiled without libUMP support (it could be that
the user actually wanted 3D acceleration, but just has not installed
all the needed dependencies).

It measures MPix/s numbers for blit and fill operations done
by G2D, and also for comparison tests the performance of the
same operations done by pixman (software rendering).

G2D has clock frequency configured to be half of the RAM clock
frequency. So for 480 MHz RAM, we have G2D clocked at 240 MHz,
which means that no more than 240 MPix can be processed per
second. Unfortunately this limits the performance of a simple
operation such as solid fill.

Avoid creating a new mapping because that's a waste of the virtual address
space. Also we are going to use this xserver framebuffer mapping address
for testing whether window backing pixmaps are allocated in the framebuffer
and can be accelerated by G2D.

The existing kernel driver from Allwinner for G2D accelerator
is quite bad because ioctls are synchronous and blocking the
caller thread, compromise security (basically it is a backdoor
for copying data in memory between any arbitrary physical
addresses) and have high overhead (each individual fill or
blit operation needs an ioctl). But we need to start with
something, so use this stuff as a placeholder.

The installation instructions from http://linux-sunxi.org/Binary_drivers wiki
page currently ask the users to run the following command after compiling
and installing the ddx driver (either xf86-video-mali or xf86-video-sunxifb):

    cp xorg.conf /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/99-mali400.conf

Regardless of whether it is a good idea to touch /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
directory in the first place, providing a sample xorg.conf file may save
some users from having unnecessary troubles.

Actually they are converted to 32x32 with 256 color palette. In the
case if we have more than 256 unique colors, the color components
of the pixels are reduced from 8-bit to 7-bit, then to 6-bit if
necessary and so on (until we reduce the number of unique colors
so that they can fit the palette). In the worst case we may
theoretically end up with just 2 bits per A, R, G and B channels,
but in practice 7 or 6 bits seem to be enough.

The modern desktops may use ARGB cursors. As the current
sunxi display controller support code can't handle this
type of cursor yet, the X server fallbacks to a software
cursor which is not visible under layers and ruining user
experience.

This patch adds empty implementations for "UseHWCursorARGB"
and "LoadCursorARGB" functions which just return error for
now (so that the X server still fallbacks to software cursor).
However we also introduce callback functions responsible for
notifying the DRI2 code about enabling/disabling the use of
hardware cursor. So that now hardware overlays are disabled
when switching to software cursor and re-enabled again when
switching back to hardware cursor.

Testing with gnome-shell revealed a problem. We need to migrate
pixmaps into UMP buffers in order to allow the GLESv2 based
compositing manager to actually access the content of redirected
windows, rendered by X11 applications into offscreen pixmaps.

Just to make sure that we don't add any unneeded overhead for 2D
(neither extra CPU cycles nor the increase for unrelated pixmaps
memory footprint), a hash table (currently uthash [1]) is used
for connecting DRI2-enabled pixmaps with UMP buffers. The lookups
are only performed on DRI2 buffer creation and pixmap destruction.

The driver can use sunxi display controller layers for fully visible
windows, avoiding expensive memory copy.

Hardware cursor is necessary because it is also visible on
top of sunxi disp layers, while software cursor is not.

FIXME: there is one minor problem with negative cursor
positions. The hardware does not support them, so such
positions are just set to 0 for now. In the future this
can be solved better by changing the cursor picture and
showing only the parts which are visible on screen.

Note: the header file "sunxi_disp_ioctl.h" is GPL licensed. So until
it is gets a MIT/X11 replacement, the DDX driver is GPL licensed as
a whole. The individual source files still have their own license.
Also in order to avoid any possible confusion, the MIT/X11 license
header from COPYING has been added to "fbdev.c" and "fbdev_priv.h".

It is going to be included by multiple different source files.

As there is no way for the hardware specific bits to be accepted
in xf86-video-fbdev, we need a new driver with its own name.
